Connecting the Dots: Assessing Landscape Connectivity Algorithms for Biodiversity Conservation

Ecological Modelling
Abstract Context To understand and characterize the dispersal of organisms in a fragmented landscape, scientists often use connectivity matrices - tables that contain the probabilities of successful dispersal between different pairs of patches.

A Landscape Genetics Approach Reveals Species‐Specific Connectivity Patterns for Stream Insects in Fragmented Habitats

Ecology and Evolution
Dispersal is a critical process in ecology and evolution, shaping global biodiversity patterns. In stream habitats, which often exist within diverse and fragmented landscapes, dispersal ensures population connectivity and survival. For aquatic insects in

MEASURING CONNECTIVITY – A NEW APPROACH FOR THE GEOMETRIZATION OF THE LANDSCAPE AND FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS IN LANDUSE PLANNING [PDF]

Acta Geographica Debrecina. Landscape & Environment Series, 2009
The study aims to introduce a new method and approach for measuring the diversity of connectivity with the help of the landscape geometrization, in order to create a new variable useful in landscapemetrics and to decrease the costs of landscape planning ...

Agroecological planning of productive systems with functional connectivity to the ecological landscape matrix: two Colombian case studies

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Given the need for agricultural system management under sustainability principles, identification and quantification of the landscape structure surrounding production systems is a tool that allows farmers to make their agroecological transition processes

Does a Time-Lagged Effect Exist Between Landscape Pattern Changes and Giant Panda Density?

Land
Land use and land cover change (LULCC) can influence giant panda distributions by altering landscape structure and configuration. However, the spatial impacts and potential time lag effects of landscape pattern changes on giant pandas remain ...

Historical Landscape Transformation and Connectivity Loss by the Bosphorus: Morphological Spatial Analysis of Ortaköy’s Century-Long Change

Forestist
Urban expansion drives habitat fragmentation globally, while cities are conceived both as the problem and the solution. Growing recognition of land-use change points to the importance of holistic planning approaches, yet fine-scale analyses of historical
